you're right the supreme court upheld obama care. what the states rights will point to sleeper strands in that opinion that are pro states rights. chief justice roberts for a majority of the court said it violates congress's power under the commerce clause. he's placing real restrictions on the commerce power which has been the ace through which the federal government exerted authority over the nation. second, there are real restrictions placed in the restriction clause rather than the individual mandate. that spending clause restriction is going to be significant. these are seeds to not be too much of a conspiracy theorist that the supreme court is planting that it expects to grow in the future. people who are concerned with state's rights are reading that opinion saying we have allies in the supreme court now. we can do more. >> it's part of why the reelection of president obama was so critical was because we're looking at potentially two more supreme court justices in the next four years. hold on to the medicaid. we'll stay on tha

obama, and that got attention by the mainstream media. these were awful sermons, saying america deserve what they got from 9/11. i will not repeat a lot of the awful things the reverend said. also, really, the president's failed record in his first term. the media did not hold the president accountable when he said, if i cannot get the job done in four years, i should be a one-term president. he said that. why have we not been hearing that on the campaign trail from the mainstream media? why is it no one at the white house and the press stood up to the president and said, you yourself said if you could not get employment down, if you could not solve the economic problems, you should be a one- term proposition? why is nobody calling him on his failed promises? >> what do you say to white or black liberals who say, she has got all the talking points. why do you feel this way and 95% of the black people feel the other way? >> i do not have talking points. many things i have written have not necessarily been in step with the republican party.

president obama said that up for them. -- president bush set that up for them. we ask the wealthy to pay for their fair share. what we had was economic prosperity. when you see the gains they're playing in congress right now, to suggest he could do this with deductions is not true. the math does not add up. the president has to stick to his guns in insuring that it is time for the wealthiest americans to help bail out from this mess. we have to make cuts. they have to be prudent. the president and vice-president do not believe the way to balance the budget is on the backs of the states. if they reduce the commitment to health care, medicare, medicaid and say we will reduce the reimbursement and shift the burden back to the states, the president knows that is not doing anything to achieve his goal of universal health care at a time when we are implementing the affordable care act. what you will see is a very balanced approach. i know the presence will not balance this budget on the backs of the most vulnerable americans. i think we have been too doom and gloom. i

and yes, president obama won with a mandate. but so did the congress members who returned to congress this year. don't forget many of them won with 60 or 70% of the vote. so they also have a mandate on their side. at the end of the day there has to be some form of compromise. perhaps that number goes to 500, perhaps the tax rates do increase but maybe not to 39. maybe to 37. but we have to remember, the thing that president obama ran on was that warren buffett shouldn't pay less in taxes than his secretary. under the president's proposal right now, warren buffett will still pay less taxes than his secretary, a lower percentage, i should say. so capital gains probably should come in there. and that could be part of the compromise. >> okay. mike, this next thing we're going to tackle is 37. here's what's behind it. a "politico" article talks about the 37% solution. the bush era tax rate for upper incomes at 356789 you combine that with the clinton-era rate 39.6. what are you hearing about this compromise at a rate of 37%? anything
